MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — CJ Massinburg had 43 points and 14 rebounds as Buffalo pulled off another big upset against a power program, stunning No. 13 West Virginia 99-94 in overtime Friday night.

Jeremy Harris added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Bulls in the season opener for both teams. Buffalo grabbed attention last March when the 13th-seeded Bulls blew out No. 4 seed Arizona 89-68 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

This time, the Bulls (1-0) rallied with a late 15-4 surge to force overtime before outscoring the Mountaineers 15-10 in the extra period.

It was the first time West Virginia (0-1) lost its home opener since a 91-84 defeat against Northeastern in 2003.

Sheldon Eberhardt scored 16 points, Steven Santa Ana added 14 and Tyler Seibring finished with 10 for the Phoenix (1-1). They haven't beaten North Carolina since 1918 and remained winless against Top 25 opponents since moving to Division I in the late 1990s.

NO. 11 AUBURN 88, NO. 25 WASHINGTON 66

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Chuma Okeke had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Samir Doughty scored 18 as the Tigers (2-0) raced to an 18-point halftime lead and pushed it to 30 in their first home win over a ranked nonconference team in nearly 48 years.

Jared Harper and Bryce Brown both scored 13 points for the Tigers. Harper also had five assists. Center Austin Wiley saw his first action in more than a season, scoring five points in 13 minutes.

Jaylen Nowell had 16 points for Washington. Nahziah Carter also scored 16 off the bench. Noah Dickerson had 12 points before fouling out midway through the second half, and David Crisp scored 10 points for the Huskies.

The Wildcats won their 24th consecutive non-conference game at Bramlage Coliseum despite playing without Xavier Sneed, who tweaked an ankle in practice Thursday and coach Bruce Weber held him out as a precaution.

Kosta Jankovic had 10 points to lead the Owls (1-1), who committed 21 turnovers and were no match athletically for their Big 12 foe.

NO. 14 OREGON 81, EASTERN WASHINGTON 47

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Freshman Bol Bol had 23 points and 12 rebounds for his second double-double in as many games as Oregon rode its stifling defense to the win.

Kerry Blackshear Jr. added 12 points for the Hokies, who allowed Gardner-Webb to keep it close until after halftime.

Nate Johnson scored 17 points to lead the Runnin' Bulldogs (0-2), who crept within four points less than five minutes into the second half. Virginia Tech responded with an 8-0 run and then pulled away.

Austin Peay (1-1) was led by Steve Harris, who had 17 points. Terry Taylor added 15.

NO. 21 UCLA 91, LONG BEACH STATE 80

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Moses Brown had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and UCLA pulled away in the second half for the win.

It was the freshman's second straight double-double for the Bruins (2-0). Kris Wilkes added 17 points.

Deishaun Booker finished with a career-high 31 points for Long Beach State in its season opener. He made all eight of his free throws.

NO. 22 CLEMSON N.C. CENTRAL 51

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — David Skara scored 16 points and Clemson opened with two straight wins for the 17th time in 18 years.

Aamir Simms had 14 points and Shelton Mitchell 11 for Clemson. The team's leading scorer last season, Marcquise Reed, was held to six points on 1-of-7 shooting. Clemson started the game by hitting its first eight shots against the Eagles (0-1).

Raasean Davis, the Eagles' leading scorer at 15 points per game last season, was held to four points on 2-of-5 shooting in the opening period.

The Tigers (2-0) led by 16 points with seven minutes remaining in the game, but needed to withstand a late rally by the Spartans. Skylar Mays and Waters each made a pair of foul shots in the final seconds to preserve the victory for LSU. The Tigers made 28 of 31 foul shots in the game. Ja'vonte Smart added 13 points.
